After the end of the Champions League, AC Milan did not sit idle, immediately devoted to the preparation of the league, they will face Napoli on the 15th, the Rossoneri's lead in the league is not obvious, so every game has to be dealt with seriously.

In this round, Xu Ziyi accumulated yellow cards and was suspended, Inzaghi started with Kessie in his place, and Silva was also placed on the bench, and Kalinic became Zhang Shujie's forward partner.

In the 27th minute of the game, Kalinic stabbed the goal in front of Chen Zihua's diagonal pass to help Milan lead 1:0 at home, at this time Kalinic hit his eighth league goal this season, and he spent 24 games on these eight goals, scoring an average of one goal in three games, as a substitute, this result is absolutely qualified.

Backward Napoli continued to organize counterattacks, but never been able to break the goal, AC Milan also wanted to extend the lead, but neither Zhang Shujie, Kalinic nor Chen Zihua could score the team's second goal, Zhang Shujie in the 66th minute of the second half of a shot made the ball have rolled to the goal line, but it was still destroyed by the opposing defender.

In the end, Kalinic's stab was the only goal of the game as AC Milan beat Napoli 1-0 at home to continue to lead the Serie A table. After the game, Inzaghi said he was happy with the scoreline, and now Milan don't need to score many goals in one game, they need three points.

On April 18, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals began, and AC Milan welcomed Bayern at home. Bayern lost 2-0 to Milan in the first leg, so they had to score at least 3-0 to secure progress today. Taking a step back, you have to ensure a 2:0 to have a chance to advance. It's just that he couldn't beat Milan at home, and today when he arrives away, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

Sure enough, just four minutes into the game, the winning Bayern pressed all the way, resulting in a very empty defense, AC Milan with a beautiful counterattack to break through Neuer's ten fingers, the team that scored the goal was Andre Silva, who scored the "hat trick on the post" in the previous round, and the assister came from Zhang Shujie.

It was Silva's fifth Champions League goal, and he was very excited, and this goal also swept away his depression at the Allianz Arena and made his mood feel a lot better, but the Bayern players were depressed. The previous "2:0" as a base score is no longer good, and now they have to score three goals.

Bayern still chose to attack, AC Milan did not compress the defense, they controlled the rhythm of the field with passing, so that Bayern could not speed up in the attack, near the end of the first half, Zhang Shujie's breakthrough in the front court was tripped by Hummels, and won a very good position free kick for AC Milan.

Free kick Chen Zihua penalized, he kicked the ball to the penalty area, Yan Tao in the front, Bonucci and Zhang Shujie in the middle did not reach the ball, Xu Ziyi at the back point leaned over and rushed to the top, and the ball drilled into the goal from the bottom left corner. 2:0！

Now, AC Milan have a 4-0 aggregate lead. That means Bayern will need to score at least four goals in the second half to secure progress to the last four. But for Bayern today, it's just too difficult. Not to mention Bayern, even a super powerhouse like Real Madrid and Barcelona will almost never be able to break through AC Milan's goal four times in 45 minutes.

Heynckes shook his head off the pitch and walked back to the dugout, his mood at the moment can be imagined, and he also hoped that a miracle would happen - even if it was only for forty-five minutes.

Bayern chose to make substitutions at the beginning of the second half to strengthen the attack, but the substitutions did not bring practical effect to Bayern, he could hit the Milan backfield, he could hit the ball into the Milan penalty area, but could not kick into the Milan goal.

The last 20 minutes of the game were largely garbage time, with some AC Milan fans at the San Siro even celebrating the victory early, with Bayern fans who came with the squad either sitting in the stands or on their way out of the stadium.

2:0 was the final score of the game, AC Milan eliminated Bayern Munich 4:0 in the two legs and advanced to the semi-finals, while Bayern stopped in the quarterfinals for the second year in a row.

In the other game, Real Madrid defeated Liverpool 2-0 away and advanced with an aggregate score of 5-1, becoming the second team to reach the semi-finals after AC Milan. Two days later, Chelsea beat Juventus 2-1 at home, with Li Mu scoring the winner to extend his Champions League tally to 14 goals this season, thus surpassing Zhang Shujie and dominating the Champions League scorers' charts.

In the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, the two teams played 0:0 again, and had to play a penalty shootout, although Ma Junqiang saved the penalty kicks of Cavani and Neymar, but Manchester City only De Bruyne and Aguero scored the penalty, and Manchester City also had to lose 2:3 to Paris.

The top four teams have all been announced, namely AC Milan in Serie A, Real Madrid in La Liga, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Chelsea in the Premier League. The four teams are the representatives of the four major leagues, while the German team has not been represented in the top four for the second year in a row.

Three of these four teams have won the Champions League, with only Paris Saint-Germain being more embarrassed. However, many people are more optimistic about them this year, Neymar, Cavani and Mbappe are currently the most goal-scoring striker combination in the entire Champions League, of course, if you compare the top cards of each team separately, AC Milan's Zhang Shujie is the top scorer in Europa, followed by Li Mu, and then Neymar and Ronaldo.

As the first brother of Real Madrid, Ronaldo is a bit surprising that he is ranked so low, but if you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable. The Portuguese superstar is 33 years old and has missed many of the less important games, but even so, he still has 12 goals in the Champions League, joint third with Neymar. A thirty-three-year-old striker can still score so many goals in the Champions League, I have to say that Ronaldo's strength is still outstanding, if he is a few years younger, I am afraid that only he and Zhang Shujie will compete for the best.

The odds for the four teams to win the title are also out, with AC Milan in first place, Chelsea in second, Paris Saint-Germain in third place, and Real Madrid in fourth place. Real Madrid's ranking at the bottom is not a matter of strength, but the team's main squad is a bit aging in terms of age, with more than half of the players over the age of 30, which affects their odds to win the title. However, even if Real Madrid have the last laugh, don't be surprised, because they have the strength and the qualifications.

The showdown in the semi-finals will probably start in about ten days, and it is still unclear who the two sides will be, but for Chinese fans, I am afraid that the last thing they want to see is AC Milan vs. Chelsea, because they want to see these two teams in the final, and want to see Zhang Shujie and Li Mu face off again.
